[quote:Anonymous Coward 21057428:MV8yMTU0NzUzXzM2NDIzMTQyX0JCRkE3QTdD] [quote:KoFFee_:MV8yMTU0NzUzXzM2NDIxOTczXzQzQ0E4MDFB] Great thread, Lisa! Jesus was speaking to the chief priests and elders of the people when He said the following: [i] Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you."[/i] (Matthew 21:31) Who are those that represent the chief priests and elders today? Who would Jesus direct that verse to today? Salvation is experienced by those who truly repent, and who are those who will truly repent? [i] "When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?[/i] [i]On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."[/i] Those, who in their own opinion, believe themselves to be free from disease, in this case, the disease of sin, feel they have no need of the Physician. Before any doctor can help you, you must admit that you have a problem, go for help, and accept the treatment. A good doctor will always tell you the truth about your condition. This is what Jesus, our Great Physician, came to do. To tell us that we are not spiritually well. [u] We have a fatal disease called sin. That is the diagnosis, and He is the cure.[/u] [i] Jesus said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance".[/i] (Matt. 9:12-13) One is more likely to become saved if he realizes he needs to be saved. One is more likely to be healed when he realizes he is sick and needs the the help of the Physician. Once you embrace a recognition of your sin and become truly sorrowful for it, you will truly repent. [/quote] Yes, the weary people in the world know they are broken and in need of saving. The ones who think they don't are the ones that won't make it, unfortunately. :hf: I had a vision maybe a year ago......about the broken people. Copied and pasted below. [b]Broken[/b] I saw Jesus, and then I saw a whole crowd of people coming to Him with smiles on their faces. All of the people were broken in one way or another. They had been hurt by the world, themselves, and others. They were tired and weary. Some in wheelchairs, some on crutches, some with open wounds and bandages. All were making their way to Him and He was welcoming them with a smile and outstretched arms. [/quote]
